Board of Trustees

My amazing wife, Rebecca, and I have been married since 2007. God has blessed us with five children. Audrey and Katherine are graduates of Providence Academy, while Caroline, Emily, and Wyatt currently attend. I have called the Rockwall area home since 1996 and am a graduate of Rockwall High School. I earned a B.A. in Business Administration with a Finance Concentration from the University of Texas at Dallas. My professional career has centered on residential real estate lending, sales, leadership, training, and relationship building. Rebecca founded Providence Academy in 2009, and I have had the privilege of serving the school in various capacities since then, including Board Trustee, Building Committee Chair, and Volunteer. We are active members of Lakepointe Church, where we lead a Life Group for married couples devoted to discipleship, serving, and growing in their faith. I am passionate about raising up the next generation to know, love, and follow Jesus. God has called and equipped me to invest in building His Kingdom through family, church, and education — Psalm 127 is a guiding scripture for me. Outside of work, ministry and school life, I enjoy outdoor adventures, traveling, golf, and pickleball....

As a husband, father, and follower of Christ, I am passionate about helping children grow academically, spiritually, and personally in a Christ-centered environment. I am married to my wife, Jessica, and together we are blessed with three children: Beckett, Ryker, and Elliana.

I grew up as part of a large family in Dallas. I always wanted to be a teacher and my three younger sisters were my first students. I have always enjoyed reading and some of my favorite memories from childhood include going to the library, checking out stacks of books, and then staying up reading late at night… I received a Bachelors degree in Interdisciplinary Studies from East Texas State University in 1994 along with my certification to teach grades 1-8 with a specialization in reading. I taught third and fourth grade for several years in the public school system. In 2000, I received a Masters Degree in Education Administration from Texas A&M University – Commerce, and I was an assistant principal for several years until I left the public school system to be a full-time mom to our oldest son.
